A HANDBOOK OF INDIAN ART

In this Handbook, embracing architecture, sculpture, and
painting in its scope, Mr. Havell gives such a concise survey of
the whole subject, free from dry technicalities, as will interest
both the student and general reader, and serve as a useful
handbook for travellers in India. It is divided into three
main sections:

ARCHITECTURE—giving such an explanation as will enable
the reader to perceive the intention of the builder, and corre-
late stupa, temple, monastery, palace, mosque, and tomb with
the thought and life of the period to which they belong, rather
than to classify them in a dry, academic manner.

SCULPTURE—explaining the leading ideas which underlie the
Buddhist and Hindu conceptions of the Deity and of divine
worship, as they are expressed in the finest works of different
periods.

PAINTING—a brief review of the different schools of Indian
painting, with typical illustrations.

THE ANCIENT 6? MEDIEVAL ARCHITECTURE
OF INDIA : A Study of Indo-Aryan Civilisation.

Owing to the inability of both European and Indian •writers
to read the Symbolic language of Indian artists, the great mass
of historical material contained in the monuments of ancient
and medieval history has hitherto been a sealed book. The
author having discovered the key to these Indian hieroglyphics,
he attempts to draw an outline of the history of Indian
civilisation from the time of Asoka down to the Muhammadan
invasions as revealed in Indian monuments.
